00:00I took this opportunity and I did it, you know, and I'm just one of the other guys,
00:20you know, like the other ones that graduated and hopefully I can, you know, go beyond this,
00:27you know, and this is just one other step, you know, to my future and I could use this,

01:00about going back to school.
